3 under-the-radar Raiders who could have big performances in Week 7

2. FS Jeff Heath

With strong safety Johnathan Abram out of the lineup due to COVID-19 protocols, the Raiders will be relying on the tandem of Erik Harris and Jeff Heath to stop Tom Brady and the Buccaneers.

Heath isn’t a strong tackler, but he does find ways to make plays in coverage. In Week 5, his interception of Patrick Mahomes all but sealed the game for the Raiders and he gives the team another athletic defensive back in the secondary.

The Buccaneers will look to attack the middle of the field with their slot receivers and tight ends. Las Vegas needs Heath to play well in order to slow down this explosive offense.
